Obama on S.S.I.

WaPo: Obama warns seniors on Social Security
Obama said McCain would push to raise the retirement age for collecting Social Security benefits or trim annual cost-of-living increases. Obama has rejected both ideas as solutions to the funding crisis projected for Social Security in favor of making higher-income workers pay more into the system.
At 54, I have at minimum 8 years to go till I can collect SSI.

I'm thinking I need at least 8 years of Democratic presidents to do this.

I have paid into SSI now for 41 years. When I saw Bush's plan to cancel benefits for those born after 1950, let's just say I was not pleased with the Bush policy.

My perfect 0% approval of Bush policy remains intact.
